Roche (pronounced ''Roach'',〔http://www.cornwall-calling.co.uk/gazetter-cornwall/roche.htm〕 (コーンウォール語:Tregarrek), meaning ''homestead of the rock'') is a civil parish and village in mid-Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The village gets its name from a granite outcrop east of the village. Roche is the Norman-French word for Rock. On the northern flank of the village is the high Roche Rock, a large granite outcrop. The parish population at the 2011 census is 3,686,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Parish population 2011 )〕 and the ward population at the same census was 3,867.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title =Ward population 2011 )〕

==Roche Rock==
Roche Rock ((コーンウォール語:An Garrek)) stands out as a rocky outcrop some high on the northern flank of the St Austell granite with an approximate area of x .)〔http://projects.exeter.ac.uk/geomincentre/04St%20Austell%20Area.pdf〕 The rock is of interest to geologists as it is a fine example of quartz shorl; a fully tourmalinised granite, with black tourmaline crystals. The Rock itself lies approximately north of the northern margin of the St Austell granite, which is the smallest of the five main apophyses of the Hercynian batholith of Southwest England. The presence of numerous pegmatites occurring as sheets and containing abundant miarolitic cavities carrying quartz, tourmaline, zinnwaldite, topaz. and a wide range of other phases, is why it is considered to have been close to the roof of the intrusion〔(Geochemical Constraints from Zoned Hydrothermal Tourmalines on Fluid Evolution and Sn Mineralization: an Example from Fault Breccias at Roche, SW England )〕 The site is considered to be of prime importance for future research and notification by English Nature as a geological SSSI occurred in 1991.
On top of Roche Rock is a ruined chapel (dedicated to St Michael). Roche Rock has many folk-lore tales associated with it, the two most famous being the legend of Jan Tregeagle, a seventeenth century magistrate, who after death found refuge in the chapel and the other being part of the Tristan and Iseult tale.
